Khadija

Khadija, a married woman with one child who attends school, is married to a motor vehicle driver who supports the family financially. For the past four years, Khadija has been operating her business from home, selling water taps to her neighboring community. With a loan of Kshs 30,0000, she wants to purchase two water tanks. Khadija faces the major challenge of seasonality, especially droughts. Her major goal is to purchase big water tanks and supply to the entire community to enable her to operate during dry seasons.

She joined Yehu because of its good customer relations. Khadija rents a house with no electricity but with piped water. Her major monthly expense is food.
